In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning algorithms, ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA, that significantly advance genetic ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Researchers are now exploring how to best extract and use saliva-derived DNA for long-read sequencing applications. Download ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led ...

WEST MICHIGAN — October is Menopause Awareness Month, and the focus on the role of DNA sequencing in women's health during menopause is an emerging frontier of medicine. Women often face a wave of new ...

Readouts of the full DNA of children with cancer at diagnosis have been implemented as the standard of care in a European first. By determining a child's type of cancer as precisely as possible, the ...

New research suggests the mysterious Roman-era “Beachy Head Woman” was likely from Britain, not the Mediterranean or ...
